Re: NetBSD: user pages available

Your webpage says "Note that for now, it looks like you can't have two
NetBSD partitions on the same drive on i386."

This is unclear.

I use NetBSD i386 with multiple fdisk partitions on same disk (although I
only boot from one).

$ fdisk wd0
Disk: /dev/rwd0d
NetBSD disklabel disk geometry:
cylinders: 12592 heads: 16 sectors/track: 63 (1008 sectors/cylinder)

BIOS disk geometry:
cylinders: 790 heads: 255 sectors/track: 63 (16065 sectors/cylinder)

Partition table:
0: sysid 169 (NetBSD)
    start 63, size 3164049 (1544 MB), flag 0x0
        beg: cylinder    0, head   1, sector  1
        end: cylinder  196, head 243, sector 63
1: sysid 169 (NetBSD)
    start 3164805, size 3164805 (1545 MB), flag 0x0
        beg: cylinder  197, head   0, sector  1
        end: cylinder  393, head 254, sector 63
2: sysid 169 (NetBSD)
    start 6331248, size 3167136 (1546 MB), flag 0x80
        beg: cylinder  394, head  26, sector  1
        end: cylinder  591, head  63, sector  1
3: sysid 169 (NetBSD)
    start 9501408, size 3173877 (1549 MB), flag 0x0
        beg: cylinder  591, head 111, sector  1
        end: cylinder  788, head 254, sector 63

(This particular system had different partitions for different operating
systems, but all got changed to NetBSD.)
